Abstract

This paper examined the location, structure, and operation of handicraft workshops in Sabi Capital in Baekje, and attempted a poetic review of Oegyeongbu location around the workshops. During the Three Kingdoms period, handicrafts include weaving such as sericulture and weaving, ceramics manufacturing earthenware and tile, mining gold, silver, copper, and iron, metallurgy to refine them, and various manufacturing industries to produce household goods, tools, and weapons. It is known that it was operated as a government-operated crust industry as the scale gradually increased over time. In Sabi Capital, metal workshops and ceramics workshops are mainly identified. It is understood that ceramics workshops are mainly distributed across the Baekma River, which is the western boundary of the capital, while metal or glass workshops are distributed at different times around specific points in the city. It is understood that the workshop in the early stages of Sabi-period was located in the south of Buso-Mountain, centered on the ruins of Gwanbuk-ri, and then moved to the northeast area of the capital. The northeastern area of Sabi Capital is vulnerable to running water because it corresponds to the alluvial land, but it is a place where abundant water sources can be supplied and smooth logistics and distribution is possible as it is close to a transportation route to enter from the outskirts of the capital. It is understood that this movement of the workshop facilities is due to the stabilization of the capital system after the capital city and the gradual development of wetlands inside the capital city. Along with the spatial movement of the workshop, changes in the structure are also confirmed. The initial Gwanbuk-ri workshop is a structure that simultaneously produces various goods within a dense space, while the workshop in the northeast of the capital divides individual ranges into a certain range and shows a structure in which production and accessories are organized within it. Based on underground storage facilities, hierarchical building structures, distribution patterns of various building sites, and high wooden slips in Sabi Capital, it is estimated that there was a space with functions as a part of the Oegyeongbu, as a government office for the operation and management of the workshop system in the west and north areas of the workshop.
